So, Slashdot has a new poll, asking how often you google yourself. What the heck (I say), might as well.
Not ONLY did I find that member information which I thought was private was one of the hits on the FIRST page, but now that I log in, I see all sorts of confusing options that I don't recall seeing before. Yes, it's true, I almost never ever log in, but now that I have, I'd like an explanation (please) of which answer means what on this page: https://lopsa.org/user/237/edit/Privacy Currently, there's two choices I just don't get. Partner/Sponsor Opt-Out * Yes No I do not wish to receive information from LOPSA Sponsors and Partners as specified in the LOPSA Privacy Policy. The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly. Member Directory Opt-Out * Yes No Currently "No" is selected on both of those, but I would think I wanted "Yes" as in I want to OPT OUT. I never wanted to OPT IN, thank you very much. There's more, but basically I am very unhappy to find my information shared, and accessible, without even the necessity of logging in. My membership fees are due any day now (I got a notice ages ago), and I'm trying to think of what it was that I found good. I'd appreciate anyone who can tell me which choice (yes or no) means that I want to opt out. I've already removed my personal information, thanks. -- Finding a needle in a haystack is a lot easier if you burn down the haystack and scan the ashes with a metal detector.
